WHEW!!! WHAT A DAY!!! WHAT A WEEK!!!
First thing this morning I was contacted by www.diyphotography.net/ about writing an Article for them on the new Programmable RGB LED Orb Tool Tutorial! So… In a scramble, I have been working on getting the tutorial spruced up a bit with more detailed photos and some added text, along with writing the article for them and getting it sent off to them! And to top it off, it will be featured on the Hack A Day website as well! 😉 So… I have totally set myself up to be contacted from all over the world again with all sorts of questions about it. Hopefully I can keep up with it all! 😉
In the midst of it all, I had a great conversation with my friend and fellow Light Painter from San Francisco, Julian Cash! He is the founder of The Aurora Light Painters that were featured on America’s Got Talent last week performing Light Painting in front of MILLIONS of people and is a really awesome person! I am so excited for all of them! The audience and judges LOVED what they did and they were voted to "GO TO VEGAS!!!" 🙂
Julian is one of the most energetic and positive people I have had the pleasure of meeting and I can’t wait to see what they come up with in their next act on AGT!! It is an awesome time to be involved in Light Painting! Wooo Hooo!! It has really been SOME week!
I have also pretty much had it with flickr group that I have been involved with fairly heavily for quite a while. The negativity in there along with the childish bickering is just a bit too much to take any longer. So I have decided to start another group and enforce some general behavior rules! So, if you are tired of the crap, and want to be involved with a positive group that is all about light painting of all types, then feel free to join in! 🙂 The new Group is called Light Painting Community! Just agree to a few simple rules and that is it! 🙂 I just know that I can’t be only one that is tired of the crap. Life is too damn short for it! 🙂
Now, in the midst of all of this, I have had to put my LightPaintingTools.com website on hold for a little bit. 🙁 I am not shutting it down completely, but it just has not taken off as quickly as I had hoped and I need to focus my attention on finding employment. 🙂 So… if anyone knows of a company that might be looking for someone with my skills and talents, then please send me an email. 🙂
Okay… so in trying to think of something unique to use the Programmable RGB LED Orb Tool for, I reprogrammed it today and came up with this! While I was thinking about doing this, it reminded me of a song that I love to play on my Ukulele and sing as well. It is by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo’ole and it is his version of the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". This video is a tribute to IZ after his death in 1997. A sad loss of a gentle giant but his music will live forever!
